Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
frequently asked questions
Do you work with both new and experienced investors?
Yes. We work with anyone who wants to build wealth through strategic property investing — whether you’re buying your first investment or your fifteenth.
New investors often come to us because they’re overwhelmed or scared of making mistakes.
Experienced investors use us for the research, the deal flow, the strategy, and the time saved.
We adjust our entire approach based on your experience level — not a one-size-fits-all pathway.
Do you only buy investment properties?
Our core focus is investment properties, but we also help a select number of owner-occupiers who want to buy strategically — people who value data, negotiation strength, and deep market knowledge rather than just emotion.
Owner-occupiers who come to us usually want:
- A home that will also perform as an asset
- Protection from overpaying
- Access to off-market opportunities
- Smarter decision-making in competitive suburbs
- Long-term value, not impulse buying
We don’t market ourselves as a general home-buying service, but we help owner-occupiers who want to buy intelligently.
Do you help people buy interstate?
Yes — and our team handles every step so you don’t need to travel unless you choose to.
You get:
- Vetted suburbs across multiple states
- Local agent intel
- High-quality inspections
- Negotiation in the local market
- Trusted conveyancers and property managers
Interstate buying opens up more opportunity, more choice, and often better value — we make it seamless.
How do you decide which states or cities to recommend?
We follow the fundamentals — not media hype.
Every location is chosen based on:
- Vacancy rates
- Population growth
- Rental demand
- Infrastructure pipelines
- Affordability pressure
- Employment hubs
- Supply constraints
- On-the-ground feedback
If the numbers don’t stack up, we won’t buy there.
Do you provide a strategy before looking for properties?
Always. Your strategy determines your suburbs — never the other way around.
We assess:
- Finance position
- Borrowing power
- Risk profile
- Long-term goals
- Property preferences
- Portfolio vision
Only once your strategy is built do we begin sourcing properties.
What if I have no idea where to start?
Perfect — that’s our job.
Most clients begin with:
- No strategy
- No clarity
- No shortlist
- Fear of making a wrong move
Within a few calls, you’ll have a clear pathway, a plan, and confidence in the process.
How many properties will you show me?
Only the ones that match your strategy — not dozens of random listings.
Clients usually buy within the first few strong options because every property has been filtered for:
- Performance
- Growth
- Yield
- Long-term potential
- Risk
- Budget fit
We show quality, not quantity.
Do you find off-market properties?
Yes — one of our strongest advantages.
We source:
- Off-market
- Pre-market
- Agent-exclusive
- Quiet listings
- Urgent sales
- Opportunities that never hit major portals
This gives you first access to stronger deals.
Do you handle the negotiation?
Completely.
We negotiate:
- Price
- Conditions
- Terms
- Timelines
- Counter-offers
- Building & pest outcomes
- Agent pressure tactics
You stay protected and unemotional — we handle the pressure.
Do you keep me updated throughout the process?
Always. Communication is one of our biggest strengths.
We update you on:
- Search progress
- Opportunity analysis
- Due diligence
- Negotiation status
- Contract steps
- Finance milestones
- Settlement tracking
Clients often say the communication alone was worth it.
Do you only buy houses, or do you buy units too?
We buy whichever asset best matches your strategy — but free-standing homes usually outperform long term.
Units are considered only when:
- Yield is strong
- Supply is tight
- The building has a proven track record
- Capital growth indicators are solid
Strategy dictates everything.
Do you specialise in co-living properties?
Yes — we help clients secure high-yield co-living opportunities.
We assess:
- Bedroom count
- Layouts
- Council rules
- Rental potential
- Tenant profiles
- Management structure
Co-living can be a powerful cashflow strategy when done properly.
Do you help with subdivision or manufactured growth strategies?
Yes — it’s part of our core expertise.
We evaluate:
- Zoning
- Overlays
- Easements
- Services
- Construction costs
- End value
- Rental uplift
We only recommend deals that genuinely stack up.
How do you assess a property's investment potential?
With a strict investment-grade checklist.
We analyse:
- Growth drivers
- Rental demand
- Infrastructure
- School catchments
- Demographics
- Days on market
- Comparable sales
- Future supply pipelines
If it doesn’t meet the standard, we don’t buy it.
Do you inspect the property for me?
Yes — we organise professional inspections and provide full due diligence before you consider an offer.
You see everything.
Do you review building and pest reports?
Yes — we break them down in plain English, highlight risks, and negotiate repairs or price reductions where needed.
Most buyers don’t know what’s normal vs. a red flag — we do.
How do you make sure I don’t overpay for a property?
Through data, experience, and strong negotiation.
We use:
- Comparable sales
- Suburb medians
- Agent intel
- Market depth
- Vendor situation
- Price modelling
We protect your money like it’s our own.
Do you help with rental appraisals and property management?
Yes — we organise rental appraisals and introduce trusted local property managers.
You’re supported before and after settlement.
Do you help with finance or pre-approval?
Yes — our partner brokers specialise in investment lending and equity strategies.
We coordinate everything.
What if my borrowing capacity is low?
We tailor the strategy to your borrowing power.
This may mean:
- A different state
- A different property type
- A staged portfolio plan
- A stronger yield strategy
You can still build wealth with a modest starting point.
Do you assist throughout contract and settlement?
From negotiation to settlement, we handle everything.
We coordinate:
- Brokers
- Conveyancers
- Property managers
- Inspectors
- Agent communication
You’re never left guessing.
What if I’ve never invested in property before?
Then you’re in the right place.
We make the entire journey simple and safe — from strategy to settlement.
Why would I hire a buyer’s agent instead of doing it myself?
Because buying the wrong property can cost hundreds of thousands over time.
You’re paying for:
- Expertise
- Access
- Protection
- Negotiation power
- Proven strategy
It’s the shortcut to doing it right.
Why shouldn’t I just buy through a real estate agent?
Because they work for the seller — not for you.
Their job is to get the highest price. Ours is to protect yours.
What if I had a bad experience with another buyer’s agent?
Many clients have.
We operate with:
- Transparency
- Data
- Communication
- Results
We rebuild trust by showing you the process, not hiding behind it.
What if the market crashes?
We buy long-term, in markets supported by:
- Population
- Infrastructure
- Employment
- Demand
Strong fundamentals remain more resilient through cycles.
What if interest rates rise?
We plan for that too.
Your strategy includes:
- Buffers
- Repayment modelling
- Yield protection
Preparation builds confidence.
How much experience do you have?
Over 20 years of personal investing plus years of guiding clients.
This is lived experience — not theory.
Do you receive commissions from selling agents or developers?
Never.
We represent the buyer exclusively.
Are your recommendations independent?
Yes — fully independent with no kickbacks or incentives.
Our advice is clean and client-first.
How do you choose which clients you work with?
We work with people serious about building wealth and taking a strategic approach.
If you want the cheapest property on a portal, we’re not the right fit.
If you want a smart investment with real potential — we are.
What results do your clients usually achieve?
Most clients secure properties with:
- Strong rental demand

We think beyond the purchase.
